Sharpie Autographs
Hello!
I am making an autograph block for Virginia Quilt Museum Block Challenge. What would I use to sign the block? Can I use a permanent "Sharpie"? Thank you for your help. Kirsten |
not sure, you should try it out. I've been in swaps and used Micron Pigma pens .05 size. i always heat set after dry and they stayed well.
|
Sharpie pens can bleed. I have used the Zig pens used for Scrapbooking on my quilt labels. They have held up well so far and they come in a variety of colors.
|
The Micron pen I used on my daughter’s baby blanket is still there 18 years later.
|
Sharpies bleed. Micron Pigma only here.
|
Thank you all for the advice.
I will use a micron pen. Kirsten |
I have always used the Micron Pigma .05. They are available at Hobby Lobby.
|
Micron pigma pens are a better choice than a sharpie. Sharpies blued/ fuzz around the edges when writing on fabric.
|
The best one I have used is called Pentel Arts Gel Roller for fabric. I buy a package at Amazon as they are hard to find in stores. It writes on fabric smooth and very black. No bleeding or blurs.

The dark circles were made by a Pentel Gel Roller for Fabric pen with a 1.0 mm Ball.
I think I ordered them through Amazon. I learned about them while reading about using Inktense pencils. I was messing around with the Inktense pencils. This piece of fabric had been soaked in hot water for several hours and then washed. |
